Chapter 97
The shrill ringtone of an encrypted cyber phone echoed inside a cheap rental car parked two blocks away from the five-star hotel hosting Sterling Group's banquet. Julian Vance gripped the phone with fingers slick with cold sweat. His face was rigid as his eyes remained fixed on the screen displaying layered cyber scan data from the outside faction's network.Beside him, Chloe Miller bit her fingernail in pure anxiety that steadily eroded the last remnants of her psychological composure. The reality that they now had to hide inside a low-class vehicle struck their upper-class pride to its very core.Click.The call connected. A three-dimensional holographic projection appeared in the darkness of the car's cabin, revealing a middle-aged man dressed in a dark silk formal suit typical of the outside faction. The man was Mr. Zhang, an international speculative investor infamous for his ruthlessness in the underground stock market, a financial predator who always fed on dying companies."Mr

Knock! Knock! Knock!The loud pounding on the front door of the luxurious Miller Family mansion rang out like the toll of a death knell.Inside the master bedroom, which was in complete disarray, Chloe Miller flinched. Her trembling hand nearly dropped the small bottle of expensive perfume that remained on her vanity table. Every nerve in her body tensed, consumed by overwhelming psychological fear that had haunted her since dawn.Before she could take a single step, the bedroom door was forced open from the outside. Three court enforcement officers in stiff gray uniforms entered the room. Leading them was a middle-aged man wearing tactical glasses and holding a digital tablet bearing the emblem of the Western Sector High Court."Miss Chloe Miller," the chief receiver said, his voice cold and flat, devoid of the slightest trace of warmth. "The voluntary vacating period for the collateral assets of Miller Group expired at four o'clock this afternoon. Pursuant to the order issued by Alt

The sound of the luxurious wall clock ticking in the master bedroom of the Sterling residence seemed to race against the increasingly pounding heartbeat. The long-awaited night had finally arrived. Under the city sky that was beginning to grow dim with the sway of cyber neon lights, the atmosphere inside the minimalist house felt so starkly in contrast with the hustle and bustle of the banquet preparations outside.Natalie Sterling stood in front of a large floor-to-ceiling mirror. A modern-style evening gown with a distinct Korean cut in deep maroon hugged her slender body perfectly. The bold maroon color contrasted sharply with her porcelain skin, giving off the impression of the elegance of a dominant yet captivating upper-faction CEO. Her black hair was tied in a modern bun, leaving a few strands framing her beautiful face."Miss Natalie, the pickup car from the Sterling Group protocol team has arrived in front of the gate," Alena reported via a cyber call hanging in the room's ai

Morning in the Western Sector began with extraordinary activity at Sterling Group's headquarters. After the news of the massive collapse of Miller Group and Vance Corporation spread widely, Sterling Group's position on the stock market soared sharply. Natalie Sterling stood beside the large window in her office, gazing at the cityscape with a faint smile that radiated the confidence of a newly established ruler of the upper faction.Knock! Knock!Alena stepped inside after the door was knocked on twice. The secretary's face was bright as she placed a red leather folder containing important documents on Natalie's marble desk."Miss Natalie, the board of commissioners has just sent the final agenda for the business banquet two nights from now," Alena said enthusiastically. "All the preparations have been completed. The digital invitations have also begun to be distributed throughout the Western faction's elite network and to international representatives."Natalie walked toward her desk
Chapter 93
Inside the main command center of the Northern Sector military headquarters, the atmosphere stood in stark contrast to the seedy bar and the conspiracy-filled office of the Western faction. Soundproof steel walls reinforced with polymer panels enclosed dozens of massive monitors displaying the city's cyber data streams in real time. At the center of the room, General Yudha Negara stood with impeccable posture. His three-star military uniform was perfectly pressed, radiating the absolute authority feared by every elite faction in the city.Yet before a young man sitting leisurely in a single leather chair, the General lowered his head in profound respect.Raymond. The man who spent his days wearing a worn cloth apron and wiping café tables while enduring Julian Vance's insults now sat with remarkable composure. He wore nothing more than a plain black shirt, yet his pair of pitch-black eyes exuded a chilling aura capable of freezing the courage of anyone daring enough to meet his gaze.

The steady tapping of fingers against the mahogany desk echoed through the room, blending with the sound of the rain outside that had begun to subside. Thomas Sterling—now fully in control of what remained of the Western Faction's conspiracy—studied the digital blueprint of a five-star hotel ballroom displayed on his tablet. Beside him, Julian Vance and Chloe Miller watched with bated breath, placing what remained of their lives in the hands of the middle-aged man before them."Sterling Group's business banquet. This will be our stage," Thomas Sterling said, his voice low and filled with deadly tactical confidence. He swiped across the screen, revealing a list of conglomerates and speculative investors from the outside faction.Julian Vance frowned, his jaw tightening with curiosity."Uncle Thomas, how can a banquet held in Natalie's company's name possibly benefit us? Vance Corporation's assets have already been frozen by the Central Bank!""That's exactly why we take advantage of th
